March 10 (UPI) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection has launched a new mobile app to give undocumented migrants, whose parole has been revoked, an easier way to voluntarily leave the United States.
The new tool notifies the U.S. government of intent to leave the country in compliance with President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion.
“Today, we’re introducing the CBP Home app offering a new critical feature, Intent to Depart,” CBP announced Monday in a post on X.
“The app provides illegal aliens in the United States with a straightforward way to declare their intent to voluntarily depart, offering them the chance to leave before facing harsher consequences,” said Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. “This reinforces our commitment to enforcing U.S. laws and safeguarding national security.”
The CBP Home Mobile Application reduces administrative processes and enhances security, according to the agency, while providing travelers, businesses and stakeholders with easy access to Customs and Border Protection through their mobile device.
“CBP Home App strengthens our mission to secure the U.S. border by ensuring lawful entry for travelers and supporting effective enforcement,” Flores added.
The free mobile app is available for download on Apple or Android devices through Apple’s App Store, Google Play or the CBP website.
In addition to notifying the U.S. government of intent to leave, users can apply for a Form I-94, which is required for all visitors with the exception of U.S. citizens, most Canadian citizens, resident migrants and migrants with immigrant visas.
Bus drivers can submit their manifests via the app. Users can also request inspection appointments for perishable cargo entering the United States and check wait times at the borde
